We just need to head around the traps here with Tom Morris for Alex Scott and staff to sell your livestock or sell your home. Hello to you, Tom. Hello, Jared. I I don't want to take too long because I can't wait for Shannon Gill to give us this emergency season. Hey, so nothing says the change of seasons like The change of chairman at Cricket Australia the Monday morning after the AFL grand final. I don't know whether we're still any good at cricket, but we are still good at politicking.
Yeah, there's a lot happening, Jared. So the simple way to phrase this is that Mike Baird, the chairman of Cricket Australia, the chair of Cricket Australia, wanted unanimous support from all six states. He couldn't get it from his own state, New South Wales, so he steps down and David Boone is the interim chair. That's the best way to describe it. Yeah. So a victim of the privatization. That's right. Cricket Australia says it's business as usual, nothing will change. Um but clearly personnel is changing and there are spots up. Grab on that board now. And Tasmania's renominated David Boone and New South Wales is keen for Ed Cowan to stand.
All right. Take us to the the footy news of the morning. For Fremantle fans, there's an awful lot to deal with at the moment. And what about the prospects of for Alex Pierce? Yeah, not just uh
out for the rest of the game in the grand final.
Why did Mike Baird resign as Cricket Australia chair and who is stepping in?
But if this is a a fully torn Achilles out for the re out for the entire twenty twenty seven as well, like likely. Um but there is hope that it's a partially torn Achilles. So we'll find out soon whether it's the case. He's getting scans today. And no matter what the case is, it won't stop Tasmania having a proper crack at him in 12 months time. They want him to be their inaugural captain. They have done for a while and the injury won't dampen that. So we wait on the Alex Pierce All eyes to the eye. Brisbane and we're awaiting what Chris Fagan is going to do. Yes, and I'm not going to pretend to know for sure. I'm not even sure Chris Fagan knows for sure at this point. All I know is people around him and close to him believe that he will step aside.
Um and that will happen in the next forty-eight hours. Now, again, not confirmed because he might decide tomorrow when he wakes up, nah, I'm going around again. But I've spoken to several people in the last forty eight hours or seventy two hours, very close to This situation, and they all have the same view. And it's not just an opinion, this is a view from them that's based on knowledge that Fagin is simply just worn out. So, this is the sort of thing that will materialize, if not tomorrow, Wednesday or Thursday. Um, and let's hope whatever decision he makes, he has comfort with it. And what else are we waiting on in Brisbane? Uh well, we're waiting on Lockie Neal as well, so he'll get to Collingwood, he confirmed that after the game.
We've known that uh for a while. And we're waiting. Waiting to s to see if Fagan does step away, who takes his position? Cameron Bruce versus Danny Daly. It's an internal, it's an internal application process, most likely, although I think Murray Davis might be an outside chance as well, given he spent 13 years at the Lions. Both Danny Daly has lots of support. Cameron Bruce has lots of support. Carlton, North Melbourne, and Melbourne all contacted him in the last 12 months. He's decided to stay in Queensland.
What are the latest AFL footy headlines after the Grand Final?
Land, uh his daughter is in year twelve next year. So geographically that makes sense. But th there's no bad option here if Fagan steps down. Both uh both of those guys and Murray Davis would all be excellent uh replacements for Chris Fagan. North Melbourne. When might we know there? So we told you on crunch time on Saturday that Jamie Graham will speak to North Melbourne this week. So he's flown back to Perth and my understanding is he'll fly back to Melbourne in the next few days later in the week to speak to Mort North Melbourne face to face. Information over the past forty eight hours is that Nathan Buckley uh his chances of getting this job have um significantly increased.
